Sport et Collection 2002

There's still time to book up with the French TVR Car Club to attend the impressive Sport et Collection in May. This will be the eighth year the event has taken place. A mixture of show, track day and charity event, it raises lots of money for needy causes as well as attracting an impressive array of supercars and classics.

The event takes place at the Circuit du val de Vienne and being France the weather might just be a tad better than the UK in May!

Y'know it never occured to me that French people might drive TVRs.

Is it because they have an affinity to the wingmirrors?

Oh, and no I'm not French BTW

[bobfrance]

Does that mean there are European TVR dealers selling them cheaper?

[thom]

bobfrance,

There are indeed TVR dealers on the continent but the cars are more expensive than in the UK.

Some French happen to drive TVRs but not too many fortunately

Imagine the carnage on the roads if more TVRs fell into the hands of French drivers!



(This is very un-PC, I know)

[thom]

You don't say!
LOL

Better sign in for the event as it's an incredible experience: 800 exotic sports cars together for an action-packed weekend in delicious France. Check out the story: www.pistonheads.net/tvr/features/sport-et-collection/

Er...

...I'm scared.

Bonjour,

bobfrance: sell your 280i
tom: never buy a TVR
You're both too narrow-minded to share the TVR "spirit of driving":
- no frontiers: countries, classics vs moderns, ...
- passion
- curiosity for different ways of living&driving
I can understand why I never saw you in car gatherings like Mania or the Continental Meeting in Zolder: stay behind your screens sending silly messages. I'm sure it's your favourite sport.
Ooooooops I forgot: ******!

Aren't you a little young to be driving?

As for that no frontiers bit, did you nick it from Star Trek?

I mean really! Where's your sense of humour? Anybody would have thought you were German!

Oh, and could it be that the reason you've never seen me is that you don't know what I look like. Duh!

Touche! as you folks say.

Dites donc éspèce de petit con, pour qui vous prenez-vous??
Vous arrivez comme ça dans ce forum et vous nous gratifiez d'un commentaire très peu reluisant révèlant un caractère hautain et méprisant: encore un des ces merdeux de français qui lorsqu'ils conduisent quelquechose d'original pensent sortir de la cuisse de Jupiter.

J'éspère pour vous que vous ne croiserez jamais ma route monsieur

Is it just me or did anyone else get the complete irony of the above statement?

Also, he spelt your name wrong Thom (and didn't have the decency to capitalise it either).
Was that mentioned in your last message? Could I have a translation?

[thom]

bobfrance,

Sorry for having typed in French, but had I typed in English, Ted would certainly have not appreciated

[bobfrance]

I think I get the jist of it thanks to my O Level French, but you'll have to email me a translation. It'll help develop my linguistic skills for the next time I visit.


Look out Christvr!

[thom]

well bobfrance, if you insist...check your e-mail in ten minutes!

[Bobfrance]

Merci.

[marki]

can i get a translation also please Thom

[christof]

I`m NOT Christophe....

Christof from Germany, the good guy
